Default Where Does This Fit Best

I have recently acquired a nice "Soldiers, Sailors and Airmens Families Association pin as part of small lot. The center of appears to have he crossed A's of the QARNNS. I am not sure which display case it would fit best? Is it a QARNNS pin? If so, then that answers he question. Any help is appreciated.



Terry

PS - Sorry for the blurry picture, probably tried ot get too close, but believe it is clear enough ot let you see the pin..

Terry,
The crossed letters AA is the cypher of the then Princess Alexander (Princess of Wales) the first President of SSAFA on formation in 1885.
